The old lady didn't speak, Cheng didn't mention it, Shu Manyao himself hinted a few times, and was also pushed back by Cheng, so the housekeeping of the Shu family, nearly half a month after the new lady entered the door, was still in Shu Manyao's hands.

Xia Xi dealt the right cards to those mothers-in-law outside, Dong Du was helping to record on the side, Shu Manyao looked at the account book, Jing Chun stood aside and waited, Jing Qiu quietly entered the door, looked left and right, and then came to Shu Manyao's side, and said in a low voice: "The son of the Yang family has come to the door, the master is not there, and the son of the Yang family said that he wants to visit the old lady." ”

"The son of the Yang family?" Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, her heart skipped a beat, and she counted the days with her fingers - to this day, it is exactly a month and a half of Yang Jianbai's promise, not more than a day, no more than a day.

"Yes, Yang Jian Baiyang Gongzi." Jingqiu lowered her voice and peeked at Shu Manyao, although she was not as good as Xia Xi and Dong Dui's two sisters, she was also the girl's personal big girl, and some things, with a little attention, could also be noticed. What's more, the girl asked a few of them to run errands last time, and suppressed what happened in the front yard, and no one could gossip.

If you can't pass it on, you can't pass it on, she's a big girl, it's okay to think a little more.

"Visiting Grandmother?" Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows, thought for a while, and nodded in response: "I'll go to my grandmother's place and say, you asked people to bring Yang Gongzi to the front and wait." ”

Jing Qiu responded, and hurriedly called the little maid to prepare tea and snacks to entertain Yang Gongzi in front, and Shu Manyao went to find the old lady: "Grandmother, Yang Gongzi came to visit, Daddy is not here at this time, Yang Gongzi directly said that he wants to see you, do you want to meet him, if you don't want to go, I will send him away with my mother?" ”

"Young Master Yang?" The old lady also frowned, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out that this Yang Gongzi Weishenme would come to the door, some time ago, the emperor finally tried the case of treason with the enemy this time, and many big officials in the court were involved, including the most powerful one who jumped up, always participated in Yang Jianbai's military exploits or something, that person was put in prison, and Yang Jianbai suddenly appeared in the capital.

Although the old lady doesn't go out much now, she has Shu Chengye here, and she knows a lot about things in the court - the emperor wants to catch them all, Yang Jianbai is a bait, and now the emperor has achieved his goal, and after the dismissal of those people who should be dismissed, and the heads that should be beheaded, this Yang Jianbai is a great hero.

Especially this time the matter involves a lot, there is also a prince, the brother of the former emperor, and the current emperor's uncle, who is also involved, it can be said that it is to pull out a tumor in the emperor's heart, Yang Jianbai was previously named a general because of his military merits, and after this incident, he must go to the next level. She also discussed it with Duchess Wei Guo before, saying that it was the old lady of the Yang family, who was really old and didn't know people clearly, and mistook pearls for fish eyes, but used scrap iron as a sword.

No matter how you look at it, this Yang Gongzi should be the most powerful heir of the Yang family, but the old lady of the Yang family can't wait to split up before the matter becomes clear. Even, he didn't hesitate to offend this Yang Gongzi, and almost tore his face with his own grandson, at this time, he was probably beating his chest at home and regretting it, maybe, he was thinking about how to save this promising grandson.

With the temperament of the Yang family, this Yang Gongzi is afraid that he will not be able to live in peace if he splits his family. This Yang family's affairs still have to be grinded. So, isn't Yang Gongzi supposed to be dealing with the people of the Yang family at this time? Why did you suddenly come to their Shu house?

Hmm, or are you here to thank you for saving your life? But hadn't he already sent someone to give him a thank you gift before? The old lady looked puzzled, and she couldn't help but see it, Yang Jianbai and Shu Chengye were officials in the same dynasty, this Yang Gongzi was the new emperor's confidant, how could he turn people away?

"Yang Gongzi came to the cold house, but he couldn't welcome him from afar, and I ask Yang Gongzi to forgive me." Although the old lady is older and has a commandment, the decree of the female dependents is not as good as the official position of the previous dynasty. Although the emperor has not yet awarded the reward, Yang Jianbai was already a four-rank general before, and his identity is enough.

Yang Jianbai hurriedly got up and saluted: "Don't dare to be, it was the juniors who disturbed the old lady, so they came to the door rashly, and asked the old lady not to be surprised." ”

Shu Manyao hid in the flower hall next to him and eavesdropped, Yang Jianbai was not a talker, and he didn't say a few words of greeting, and when the two sides sat down, he went straight to the point: "Old lady, Yang came to visit this time because he wanted to ask the old lady and Master Shu for something." ”

"Why did Yang Gongzi say this?" The old lady was even more surprised, civil officials and military generals, generally speaking, are not very interacting, civil officials look down on the rudeness of military generals, military generals look down on the sour rot of civil officials, the two sides have nothing to do with each other, although this Yang Gongzi has lived in his own house for a period of time, but he has never been to the backyard, and Shu Chengye has never mentioned it after leaving, why did he suddenly ask for something to his own door?

"Yang Gongzi is not a stranger anymore, if there is something, just ask, if you can help, my Shu family will definitely try to help." The old lady was afraid that it was a matter in the court, and she didn't dare to say it too much, so she only played Tai Chi.

Yang Jianbai got up and shook it to the end: "Old lady, Yang wants to marry the eldest girl in your mansion and ask the old lady to be fulfilled." ”

Next door, Shu Manyao didn't expect Yang Jianbai to be so straightforward, and the sip of tea in his mouth almost didn't squirt out, and Xia Xi and Dong Du were stunned. Not to mention, the old lady who faced Yang Jianbai directly didn't react for a long time, and it took a while before she frowned: "What did you say?" ”

"Old lady, Yang wants to marry the eldest girl in your house, Miss Shu Man Yaoshu." Yang Jianbai repeated it again seriously: "If Miss Shu marries Yang, Yang will definitely treat her with cherishment, love and respect, and will not let Miss Shu suffer the slightest grievance." Ask the old lady to be fulfilled. ”

As she spoke, she plucked her ears again, and the old lady couldn't help but pluck her ears: "Say it again?" ”

Yang Jianbai honestly said it again, the old lady is sure that this boy of the Yang family is indeed here to marry his granddaughter. To tell the truth, the old lady was very reluctant at first, the affairs of your Yang family, everyone in the capital knows about it, then the Yang family is a nest of right and wrong, who will let their baby girl in?

But then, the old lady was a little shaken, the Yang family is right and wrong, but Yang Jianbai is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, this person has such a status at a young age, he is young and promising, he is decent, he is deeply favored by the emperor, and his future is bright. This time, if the emperor is gracious, the title of the Yang family will be settled. Even if it's a demotion, it's a knighthood!

Excluding the large number of people in the Yang family, just looking at Yang Jianbai, it is really a rare good Erlang, with good character, outstanding appearance, outstanding ability, outstanding family background, and outstanding status, if Man Yao is matched with him, it can be regarded as a good thing, right?

Just thinking about it, the old lady suddenly remembered something, and the wavering on her face immediately disappeared: "Let me ask you, do you really want to marry my family Manyao?" ”

Yang Jianbai nodded firmly: "Yes, Yang really wants to marry Miss Shu, this is Yang's sincerity, and he also asks the old lady to look at it." ”

The old lady was very puzzled and took the booklet handed over by Yang Jianbai, and only after flipping through it did she know that Yang Jianbai had brought all his net worth to register and make a book, up to the house and real estate, down to the teacups, bowls and chopsticks, everything was listed very clearly, and the following one was the dowry list, compared with the above, almost half of the family property.

"You want to use half of your family property to marry our family Manyao?" The old lady asked in disbelief, she had never heard of anyone who had to use most of the family property to marry a wife, especially a big family, and it was already quite important to be able to pay one-tenth of it.

Yang Jianbai nodded, and the expression on his face became more and more sincere: "Yes, if Miss Shu marries me, I will not let her suffer with me, I will definitely let her live a smooth life, and she will be happy in this life." ”

"No, it's not about money, it's just that your Yang family doesn't have so much money, and my Shu family won't have a dowry." The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, frowned and asked, "Then the girl of the Ma family, how did you deal with it?" Can you make sure she won't trouble our family Manyao in the future? ”

Yang Jianbai pursed his lips, he was reluctant to mention the girl of the Ma family, but the old lady of the Shu family may be his grandmother in the future, and he couldn't help but say: "Although the old lady can rest assured, the girl of the Ma family has returned to the Ma family with the dowry, and it is said that the wedding of the year did not come to fruition, and the girl Ma served under the knee of her aunt and grandmother, and now that I am back, there is no need for Miss Ma to be filial piety in front of my grandmother, so the Ma family took people away." In fact, I have a letter of resignation in my hand, as well as a confession signed by Miss Ma, she is guilty of seven crimes, if I want to investigate to the end, it will be the end of the pig cage, the Ma family clan will not tolerate her, if Miss Ma wants to live a good life, she will not come to provoke me and the people I value. ”

The old lady nodded, lowered her head and began to calculate, without Miss Ma in front of her, Yang Jianbai had one more advantage. The balance in the old lady's heart has actually tilted by more than half, but there is still a little bit that has not moved - the group of people in the Yang family is really not easy to get along with.

The old lady of the Yang family is in the open, and she is righteous - filial piety is greater than the sky, even the emperor can't stop Yang Jianbai from doing his filial piety, if the old lady is out of the moth and wants to learn from her granddaughter, it is as easy as a matter of hand.

However, the old lady of the Yang family is not young, and Yang Jianbai has no parents on it, although this is a sad thing, but for her granddaughter, she doesn't have to serve her in-laws when she enters the door, which is a blessing. When the old lady of the Yang family dies, then the Yang family is not the final say of their granddaughter?

"Let me think about it." The old lady hesitated for a while, and didn't say anything, Man Yao is not only her granddaughter, but also the daughter of Chengye, and this matter has to be discussed with her father.

"Yes, then Yang will leave first." Yang Jianbai didn't dwell on it much, and sent a gift list: "Yang has lived in Shu's house for a long time, these thank-you gifts are some of Yang's thoughts, and please don't dislike the old lady." ”
